Some of the more recent reviews of this resort mention a foul, strong sewage smell, some people saying that it smells as if it was built on a septic field.

I was wondering HOW bad the smell is, and whether it impacted their trip or not. If people think it was bad or overwhelming, I think I will be rethinking our destination, the last thing I want to smell while trying to enjoy my trip is human feces.

Thanks in advance! It looks like the reviews in the past 4 weeks or so have been the first to mention the smell, so I'd love to hear from anyone that stayed there from mid June to current.

So far it's only two recent reviews that have mentioned the smell, I've messaged a couple more recent reviewers to see if it was a widespread issue or if it is just something that only a few people will notice. I know all inclusives can be musty and a bit dank smelling, but I was not expecting to hear about sewage smells from a new resort! I will update this post if I find anything else out from those reviewers, but at the same time would love some imput from someone that has been there in the last bit!

I've been reading the reviews for both the Palace and the Riu next door..... I think the poster may be talking about the Riu next door as I have seen quite a few posters of next door complaining about a sewage smell.
